In math we are learning mental addition.  Today we learned how we add the tens first in our heads then add the ones.  In reading our story is "Abuelo and the Three Bears".  There are a lot of Spanish words in it!  In music it was funny when everybody slapped their sides and it made a loud noise!  Our Christmas concert is on Tuesday, December 6, 2011.

Adrianna and Susy

Today we started a new topic in Math.  We are learning about mental math.  We played a card game where we had to make tens.  Our Christmas concert is next Tuesday at 7pm.

Braxton and Diego

Today we learned about the Pilgrim's trip on the Mayflower.  There were 102 people on the boat and it took 66 days to get to America.  We saw the One Act play this morning.  We went to the 4-6 grade vocabulary fashion show this afternoon.  It was funny!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today we learned about the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Indians on the Internet. We learned that they both had to pick up firewood and carry water. The Pilgrims lived in houses and the Wampanoags lived in wetus.
